Aromobates orostoma
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Aromobates orostoma faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its restricted montane range. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further fragmented its already limited cloud forest habitat. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture regimes essential for this species' survival in high-altitude environments.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid highland areas at elevations between 1,800-2,400 meters in the Venezuelan Andes. It requires pristine forest environments with high humidity levels and dense vegetation cover typical of Neotropical cloud forest ecosystems.
